[rIPPDUP]

well i had bloodwork done a couple days ago as i am getting older and figured it was about that time to start monitoring my cholesterol levels and such.


here were my results....

TOTAL CHOLESTEROL- 290 (HORRIBLE)
TRIGLISERIDES- 268 (HORRIBLE)
HDL(GOOD CHOLESTEROL)- 7 (HORRIBLE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE 40)
LDL(BAD CHOLESTEROL)- 229 (HORRIBLE)

the doctor basically said that i'm in heart attack range, and prescribed 10 mg each day of lipitor to lower my cholesterol levels down. just thought everyone should know to make sure to get bloodwork done before going on any strict supplement regiment.

When I went to give blood yesterday my BP was 108/86 and my hematocrit was 47% (normal is 38-46%) so that is great!

i'm at risk for cholesterol problems as most of my father's family suffer from high cholesterol due to a genetic quirk. My dad got diagnsed when he was about your age and the doctor told him that the only reason he wasn't dead yet was due to his great conditioning.

Along with efa's, you could use niacin as well, but the most important factor is diet and CARDIO! Stay strong bro.

75% of cholesterol is due to genetics but that still doesn't justify your hdl/ldl levels. How high is your bf?
